NEW BROOM [1]. AKA and see "Democrats a-Rising." Old-Time, Breakdown. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Silberberg): AA'BB' (Phillips). Charles Wolfe (1991) thinks the title might be associated with an old African-American banjo song, perhaps of minstrel origins, called "Sweep dat Kittle Wid a Bran' New Broom." Kentucky fiddler Jim Bowles called the tune "Democrats a-Rising," associating the title "New Broom" with the political analogy of a new administration 'sweeping' out the old.
